Question

Consider a homogeneous spherical piece of radioactive material of radius r₀ = 5 cm that is generating heat at a constant rate of q^.= 3.8x10⁷ W/m³ The heat generated is dissipated to the environment T_∞=27°C and h = 110 W/m²°C steadily. The outer surface of the sphere is maintained at a uniform temperature
(Ts) and the thermal conductivity of the sphere is k = 25 W/m°C. Assuming steady one-dimensional heat transfer,
(a) express the differential equation and the boundary conditions for heat conduction through the sphere,

(b) obtain a relation for the variation of temperature in the sphere by solving the differential equation,

and (c) determine the temperature at the center of the sphere
